is appliance must be grounded If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least re-
sistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. is appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment grounding conductor and grounding plug. e plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is proper-
ly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
is appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketch (A). Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same congura-
tion as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.

UNCRATING
Your Ultra High Speed Burnisher was protectively
packed to prevent damage in shipment. We suggest that
upon removing the unit from its carton you carefully
inspect it for any possible damage in transit. If damage
is discovered, immediately notify the transportation
company who delivered your machine. As a
manufacturer, we are unable to ace upon any claim for
concealed damage: you must originate the claim.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
This machine is designed to be safe when used to
perform the functions specied in this Operator’s
Manual. Should damage occur to electrical or
mechanical parts, the machine should be repaired by
the manufacturer or competent service center before
using in order to avoid further damage to the machine
or physical injury to the user. Your oor machine is
equipped with a safety switch lockout device designed
for your safety. Do not attempt to bypass or defeat the
safety lockout device. Never use any device to lock the
power switch in the ON position.
APPLICATION
The P1600 and P2000 Glazers High Speed Burnishes
are used to achieve and /or maintain a high gloss
appearance on an established oor nish. The high pad
revolution of the oor burnisher combined with a good
polishing pad will turn properly established cleaned
oor nish into a high gloss, hardened nish known as
the ‘wet look shine”. Recommended pads are beige or
white synthetic pads, or the natural hogs hair blended
pads.
Preparation of the Surface
Before each use of this machine, the oor must be dust
mopped with a treated mop and if necessary clean the
oor with a damp mop using a solution of water and
neutral cleaner.
PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION
.WARNING
To prevent injury, always remove the electrical plug
from the electrical outlet before changing the polishing
pad and before leaving the machine.
With the handle locked, tip the machine back until the
handle is lying at on the oor
To remove the pad-lock pad holder from the exible
pad driver, grasp the center support with your thumb
and forenger and turn the collar counter-clockwise
(see gure 1).
Place a clean or new 230” bufng pad over the
alignment ring on the pad holder
Replace the collar by turning clockwise until snug (see
gure 2).
Step back and tilt the burnisher to the upright position.
Connect the power cord into a grounded, 3-wire outlet.
The P1600 and P2000 Glazers should be operated
with the handle in the unlocked “oating” position to
provide excellent maneuverability and automatic pad
contact. The P1600 and P2000 Glazers are designed
for maintenance of large, open areas. To prevent
excessive pad drag or uneven burnishing where tight,
repetitive turns are necessary, lock the handle for
manual control of pad contact
. NOTE: The hardened steel cam release lever does
not require extreme tightening to effectively hold the
handle in position. Over-tightening the can release
lever will shorten the functional life of the lever (see
gure 3).

HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE
Plug the machine in as directed and lower the handle to
the desired operating height. Push the safety switch
forward (see figure 4) and squeeze the switch triggers
beneath the handle grips. This activates the motor and
stars the pad in operation. Each time your release the
triggers the safety switch will reset. You will need to
follow the direction above to restart the machine.
CAUTION: When leaving the machine unattended,
disconnect the wall plug and return the handle to the
“locked” upright position to prevent accidental
starting.
Push the machine forward in a straight line, at a slow
walking speed. Overlap each pass by about 1 inch
(25mm).
AFTER USING THE MACHINE
Upon completion, dust mop with treated mop to pick up
all burnishing residue.
The condition of the oor pad has a direct effect on the
performance of your burnisher. When the pad becomes
dirt, turn it over and use the other side. When finished,
washthe pad out and allow it to dry completely before
using again.
TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
Use the rear wheels for transporting the P1600 and
P2000 Glazers. This will insure that the operating
wheels remain clean and smooth for use on clean oor
surfaces (see gure 5).

MAINTENANCE
Once a month remove the motor cover of the unplugged
P1600 and P2000 Glazers by removing the motor cover
screws.
Vacuum out any dust or debris which has accumulated
on the motor (see gure 6).
Replace the motor cover by setting it overt the holes in
the housing and replace all of the screws.
Check and maintain the tightness of all the fasteners.
WARNING: Do not over-tighten the switch housing
screws.
Keep the burnisher clean, especially at the handle tube
and collar so the handle tube will move freely through
the collar.
Inspect the cord for cuts, gashes, or loose prongs;
replace as needed.
The length of the carbon brushes should be inspected
annually. If they are no longer extended past the holder
window, they should be replaced.
Replacement of carbon brushes should be done only by
a qualied service technician.
Disassembly of this motor voids the warranty.
Improper disassembly and assembly of this motor can
permanently damage the eld or rotor.
